    Just done a sweep up of roster changes, couple of Europcar, couple to the Portuguese teams so best to check you’ve not lost someone (emails have gone out).

    One thing to note that you may not have noticed unless you bothered to read the ‘scoring information’ but there’s no young rider jersey in this race.

    That’s the sound of me stabbing wildly in the dark as I select my team for this comp. Clueless.


    Here’s my stage notes…
    1 – Flat-ish
    2 – Hilly
    3 – TT
    4 – Summit
    5 – Sprint?
    So yeah – what am I supposed to do with that? #puristnightmare

    I’d agree with that, I see:

    1 – Flat-ish, climb is early so lots of time for it to come back together.
    2 – Hilly, climbs late in the stage so expect pure sprinters to get dropped, a stage for strong men and puncheurs
    3 – TT, short and flat, nothing complicated, not long enough for a pure TTer to make a play for the race win
    4 – SF, couple of climbs but the final climb is only cat 2, not sure what kind of riders will be at the end (whether there will be a big selection or not).
    5 – Flat-ish, probably sprint finish.

    I’d say you want punchy sprinters/climbers for your purist team with a big ‘GC’ star there to secure you some decent points on stages 3/4.

    How do you mean? Neither is in the current start list.

    Rosters have been fairly sparse up until now, a full update will be done around lunch time with a sweep up this evening/tomorrow morning of any last minute changes.

    The race itself is set up (although roster info was sparse when I last checked) but I think a couple of last minute things are being done (such as sorting out prizes) before Dave opens it up, shouldn’t be long.
